Xie Xie frowned, "Bah, why are you mentioning that? Ye Hui isn't with me for my handsome appearance, but for my inner qualities!"
"Just think about it; the fact that Ye Hui spent so much time resurrecting me says it all!"
"Having a wife like that, my life is complete!"
Then he followed up with a bunch of mushy words...
Xiaoyan, who was getting goosebumps from listening, quickly stopped him, "Enough, enough. Suddenly saying so much mushy stuff, you've almost blushed Ye Hui through the roof!"
Xie Xie was startled, "Ye Hui?"
His expression instantly stiffened, then he slowly turned around...
What met his eyes was none other than the overly flushed cheeks of Yuanen Ye Hui...
Just by looking, one could feel the warmth they held...
Xie Xie quickly reacted, scratching his head while chuckling awkwardly, "Well… Ye Hui, how did you get here? Hahahaha."
Yuanen Ye Hui pursed her lips and let out a statement, "You're not allowed to say those things anymore!"
She was about to die of embarrassment, and Xie Xie had just praised her so much in front of everyone!
Xie Xie immediately raised his right hand, "Alright, I promise I'll only say them in front of you, Ye Hui!"
Tang Wulin covered his mouth to cough, interrupting, "Xie Xie, stop teasing Ye Hui. She was never one to enjoy those kinds of words."
But Xie Xie retorted unhappily, "Hey hey, Wulin, you're overstating your boundaries here. This is a sweet expression of love between me and Ye Hui!"
The corner of Tang Wulin's mouth twitched...
This guy, he's doing it on purpose, right?
He has to be doing it on purpose, right?
He knows full well that I can't see Gu Yue for months at a time, and yet he flaunts his love life right in front of me!
"Xie Xie, I think maybe it's time we had a little sparring session?"
"Otherwise, my position as the Sea God Pavilion Master doesn't seem very convincing!"
Xie Xie's heart skipped a beat...
Forcing a smile, he patted the other's shoulder, "Gee, we're brothers who've been through life and death together for so many years. We know each other's strength, no need for a spar!"
"Anyway, you guys keep talking; Ye Hui and I are off to enjoy our world for two!"
Having said that, he left with Yuanen Ye Hui...
He definitely didn't want to spar with Tang Wulin. Although they were both Ultimate Douluo, there was still a significant gap in strength!
If it really came to fighting, he was afraid he'd end up with a bruised nose and a swollen face, totally embarrassing himself!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but mock, "Psh, Xie Xie's such a chicken, scared before the fight even starts."
Suddenly, Yue Zhengyu appeared, taking it upon himself to explain, "Xiao Yan, Xie Xie isn't being chicken, that's called wisdom!"
Xiao Yan was clearly startled, questioning suspiciously, "Zheng Yu, what are you doing here? Sneaking around!"
Yue Zhengyu shrugged his shoulders, explaining, "Well, I saw Xie Xie hiding out here, so I wanted to see what he was up to. Never thought he was eavesdropping on your chat with Wulin,"
"Let's get one thing straight; I didn't hear a thing."
Tang Wulin seemed helpless as he interrupted, "Zheng Yu, don't worry. We were just discussing some normal stuff. It doesn't matter even if you heard something."
Only then did Yue Zhengyu breathe a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see. I thought it was some secret that required the two of you to talk alone."
It was then that Xiao Yan suddenly interjected, "Zheng Yu, you just said Xie Xie is wise? What do you mean by that?"
Yue Zhengyu, seeing this, coughed slightly before patiently explaining, "Well, Xiao Yan, think about it. Wulin is not only the Sea God Pavilion Master and the Tang Sect Master, but he is also the son of Sea God Tang San!"
"Given his strength that's about to break through to the God Rank, it's impossible for any of us Shrek Seven Monsters to defeat him in battle!"
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "Eh, even Ye Hui can't do it?"
In her opinion, Yuanen Yehui should be the one whose strength was closest to Tang Wulin's!
Yue Zhengyu said decisively, "Definitely not, even though Ye Hui has several hundred-thousand-year soul rings, there's no way he could defeat Wulin."
His tone was filled with an undeniable confidence!
The person in question, Tang Wulin, was also feeling a bit carried away...
"Um... Zheng Yu, although I'm very happy you're praising me, could you not be so absolute in your statements? Ye Hui is still very powerful, and besides, we've never actually sparred with each other!"
Regarding Yuanen Yehui's strength, he had a rough estimate, but it wasn't specific!
Yue Zhengyu waved his hand dismissively and said again, "Wulin, there's no need to be modest. Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, you and Gu Yue have long surpassed the rest of us, and that's clear to everyone."
"So you don't have to worry about us harboring any other thoughts!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin could only give a slightly perfunctory response, "This... hahaha."
Yue Zhengyu chuckled, "Well, Wulin, Xiaoyan and I are going to take off first, you take your time thinking."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Really, do you all have to show off your love in front of me?"
When would he and Gu Yue be able to have this kind of life together?
It's not like they needed to meet every day, but at least once a week should be possible, right?
Otherwise, he really would be quite a pitiful husband!
Just then, one of the Shrek Academy's students quickly approached and respectfully reported, "Report… Pavilion Master, just now, there has been a response from the federation regarding your request!"
Despite the difference in their ages, there was an insurmountable gap in their statuses...
The former was well aware of this and dared not show the slightest negligence!
Tang Wulin's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this, and he eagerly asked, "Really? Tell me quickly."
The student went straight to the point without wasting any words, "This is the situation, according to the federation, Hall Master Guan has agreed to meet with you, Pavilion Master Tang, but it won't be within the federation."
Tang Wulin was a bit confused, "What does that mean?"
"Not in the federation, does it mean some other place?"
The student patiently explained, "Yes, Pavilion Master Tang, this is the meeting location arranged by Hall Master Guan."
He then opened a Soul Guidance Map and swiftly marked a location…
Tang Wulin examined the map closely, "Such a remote place? Are you sure it was Hall Master Guan from the federation who said that?"
To the uninformed, it would seem like setting up a trap in a deserted area, waiting for him to fall in!
The student nodded assertively, "Yes, Pavilion Master Tang, this message was personally relayed by the federation, there's no mistake!"
Tang Wulin waved his hand, "I understand, what about the time?"
Just for a meeting, it seemed quite troublesome!
But presumably, the other party was also trying to avoid some unnecessary trouble!
Upon hearing the question, the student answered honestly, "The scheduled time is tomorrow afternoon!"
Tang Wulin nodded in understanding, "Alright, I've got the details, you can go rest."
Tomorrow, huh?
It really wasn't too late!
